Description
In the Special CRM Collection, we examine many an exciting and highly beneficial topic taken from the entire field of crew resource management (CRM). Real-life examples from aviation, the emergency medical services, as well as hospitals illustrate the CRM concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Thus, you can apply them at your workplace immediately.
In this second volume of the Special CRM Collection, the following themes accompany you as you perfect your teamwork for excellent results.
Dealing With Human Factors
The obstinate human factors have been summarised in the famous Dirty Dozen. We will scrutinise them one by one and reveal what you can do to minimise their effects on your work.
Scene Safety, Violence at the Scene, Deadly Knife Attacks in Public
Scene safety is vital in prehospital emergency medicine, not only when dealing with violence at the scene. We will highlight what professionals do to mitigate the hazards before turning our attention to a disturbing theme: knife attacks in public. How can rescue teams prepare for such an atrocious act of violence? What can laypersons do? We will answer these questions.
Debriefings That You Can Use to Optimise Teamwork and Safety
When you hold a debriefing session with your team, this should be a peaceful event even if you have detected room for improvement. We will elucidate how you can work together constructively during such a debriefing, be it at the hospital, in emergency medical services, or at any workplace to which you want to transfer your knowledge.
Post-Traumatic Stress and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Are Not Shameful
Post-traumatic stress (PTS) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are not shameful, but health conditions we need to address. Therefore, we will look at them in-depth and also shed light on where relatives find the help they need. Following that, we will explore how a famous pilot not only dealt with his PTSD in a remarkable manner, but also does outstanding work to educate about it.
The 15 CRM Key Points by Rall and Gaba
Dr Rall and Dr Gaba, both anaesthesiologists, worked hard to transfer crew resource management to the field of medicine to enhance patient safety. For this, they created their 15 CRM Key Points. Today, these form an important backbone of the application of CRM principles in medicine. We will examine all of them carefully before applying them in a playful manner far away from any high-risk work environment.
